› Find signed collectible books: 'Beyond Good and Evil'Book summary:This work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a "slave morality." With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own "will to power" upon the world.[via]More editions of Beyond Good and Evil:

The Birth of Tragedyby Friedrich Nietzsche, Michael TannerISBN 0140433392 (0-14-043339-2)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Birth of Tragedy'Book summary:Dedicated to Richard Wagner, The Birth of Tragedy is rich in Nietzche's current enthusiams for Greek literature and especially tragedy, for Schopenhauer and Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. Its central vision is the idea that "only as an aesthetic phenomenon are existence and the world justified." Making his celebrated distinction between the Apolline and the Dionysiac spirit, Nietzche presses us to consider why it is that we derive pleasure from tragic art, and what is the relationship between our experiences of suffering in life and in art. The Birth of Tragedy was his first book. Occasionally flawed and impetuous in argument, it is non the less a triumph of passionate energy and insight. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ecce Homo: How To Become What You Are'Book summary:In late 1888, only weeks before his final collapse into madness, nietzsche (1844 1900) set out to compose his autobiography, and ecce homo remains one of the most intriguing yet bizarre examples of the genre ever written. In this extraordinary work nietzsche traces his life, work and development as a philosopher, examines the heroes he has identified with, struggled against and then overcome schopenhauer, wagner, socrates, christ and predicts the cataclysmic impact of his forthcoming revelation of all values'. Both self-celebrating and self-mocking, penetrating and strange, ecce homo gives the final, definitive expression to nietzsche's main beliefs and is in every way his last testament [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Twilight of the Idols and the Anti Christ'Book summary:[via]'One must be superior to mankind in force, in loftiness of soulin contempt
In these two devastating works, Nietzsche offers a sustained and often vitriolic attack on the morality and the beliefs of his time, in particular those of Hegel, Kant and Schopenhaur. Twilight of the Idols is a grand declaration of war on reason, psychology and theology that combines highly charged personal attacks on his contemporaries with a lightning tour of his own philosophy. It also paves the way for The Anti-Christ, Nietzches final assault on institutional Christianity, in which he identifies himself with the Dionysian artist and confronts Christ; the only opponent he feels worthy of him.
In his introduction Michael Tanner discussed the themes of Nietzches argument and places the works in their historical and philosophical context.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Wagner'Book summary:While no one would dispute Wagner's ranking among the most significant composers in the history of Western music, his works have been more fiercely attacked than those of any other composer. Alleged to be an unscrupulous womanizer and megalomaniac, undeniably a racist, Wagner's personal qualities and attitudes have often provoked, and continue to provoke, intense hostility that has translated into a mistrust and abhorrence of his music. In this emphatic, lucid book, Michael Tanner discusses why people feel so passionately about Wagner, for or against, in a way that they do not about other artists who had personal traits no less lamentable than those he is thought to have possessed. Tanner lays out the various arguments made by Wagner's detractors and admirers, and challenges most of them. The author's fascination for the relationships among music, text, and plot generates an illuminating discussion of the operas, in which he persuades us to see many of Wagner's best-known works anew--The Ring Cycle, Tristan und Isolde, Parsifal. He refrains from lengthy and detailed musical examination, giving instead passionate and unconventional analyses that are accessible to all lovers of music, be they listeners or performers. In this fiery reassessment of one of the greatest composers in the history of opera, Tanner presents one of the most intelligent and controversial portraits of Wagner to emerge for many years. [via]
